My mother lives at the corner of the Marmara Sea and the Aegean which is the region where the Trojan War was fought in ancient times. When we visit her during the warmer months of the year, we stay here in our caravan. It is a beautiful, peaceful place overlooking the Aegean Sea on one side and accessing stunning hills and reservoirs on the other. The Aegean Sea looks like a second sky between bays that are parallel to the purple mountains in this region. This artwork is based on the beauty of the sheep herd behind the sunrise and the effect of all these above-mentioned sceneries. This painting was created by needle-felted merino and New Zealand wool tops with mohair, wool locks, wool nappes, silk tops, and machine and hand stitching. Mostly, I start my paintings in an intuitive style that allows me the freedom to just let go. It’s a spontaneous expression that is playful and fun, while meditative at the same time. It is only near the end of my felting process, the story comes to life with a realistic image. I work with colors that make me happy, reminiscent of the beauty that is all around us, and that is even more magical when painted together. ❤️ABOUT FELTING and TECHNIQUES USED IN THIS PAINTING: Needle felted merino wool tops with mohair, curly, and Alpaca locks, silk, and viscose tops, Harris Tweed and silk chiffon inclusions, hand-embroidery, and machine stitching. Needle felting, which is made by fixing each natural wool fiber individually with a special needle, is a very demanding method but the result is worth it. Wool fibers create unusual textures and images. When we reflect on these in the painting, we get a different result from the classical paints which are almost 3D textured visually. Since the beginning of life, natural cellulose fiber and wool have served humanity's spirit as a part of art while also serving to protect itself and survive. Did you know the art of wool felting is a very ancient craft and are good for your health? Because natural wool has a healing vibes performance. Just like the copper bracelet, natural wool creates the same effect on the human spirit and health. Therefore, do not hesitate to touch these pictures while there are so many synthetics around you, keep objects made of natural wool in your home. Especially if they have an artistic side as wall decor! So, a natural wool felted art painting is a thoughtful gift for your mom or dad, nature and felt art enthusiast, or anyone who enjoys the colors and textures of fiber art. Felt is such a tactile medium, so I rarely frame it behind glass. A question I am often asked by prospective customers is, “How do you stop felt artwork from getting dusty?” I live with felt on my walls at home, and I can honestly say that it isn’t a problem - like most homes, mine gets a weekly hoover, but the artwork doesn’t need much special treatment. ❤️ LOOKING AFTER YOUR ARTWORK: Artwork should never be hung in direct sunlight, on a damp wall, or above a heating source. I use colorfast dyed wools and silks for longevity. Felt is a robust material and can be displayed without glass or a frame, although it does need to be hung away from sticky fingers, and potential splashes and spillages. A professional framer can make a custom frame for your artwork if you decide you don’t want to take that risk. If you decide you don’t want to protect your artwork behind glass, it can be removed from your wall occasionally and tapped on a clean, flat surface to loosen any accumulated dust. Only if it is necessary, you may hand-wash in cold water with very gentle movements. Please do not use any detergent & soap. Please lay it flat and leave it to dry. Do not dry clean. you can iron it by covering it with a clean & slight wet cheesecloth or similar thin cotton fabric. Just keep in mind that you can use "hairspray" to keep the felt fibers smooth and intact or prevent the fibers from spreading around. ❤️ DELIVERY: Enjoy FREE and FASTEST DELIVERY by UPS express courier service. ❤️ NEEDLE FELT WALL ARTWORK -- Felt painting enriched with Tussah silk, Mulberry silk, multicolor beads, and embroidery details.
